Falcons vs Chargers Week 3 NFL Lines: Atlanta Seeks Statement Win in San Diego
Atlanta's high-powered offense meets San Diego's steady defense in a pivotal Week 3 matchup at Qualcomm Stadium. The Falcons (2-0) enter fresh off an impressive Monday night victory over the Broncos, where their defense forced four turnovers against Peyton Manning.
Despite their success, Atlanta's ground game needs improvement, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry. The running situation is further complicated by Michael Turner's recent DUI arrest, though coach Mike Smith indicates the matter will be handled according to league protocol.
The Chargers (2-0) have started perfect under Norv Turner for the first time, with wins over Oakland and Tennessee. Turner, facing his former team, praised San Diego's chemistry and recent additions, including tight end Dante Rosario, linebacker Jarret Johnson, and running back Le'Ron McClain.
Game Details:
- Date: Week 3
- Time: 4:05 PM ET
- Location: Qualcomm Stadium
- Spread: Chargers -3
Both teams look to maintain their undefeated records in what promises to be a compelling matchup between AFC and NFC contenders.
